Our dedicated team will also give you tailored advice to follow in the run up to your visit.

You will need to keep your underarms and breasts clean and clear from any lotions or anti-perspiration as it can affect the imaging. Your radiographer will give you further, tailored advice to follow in the run up to your mammogram.

We understand that having a mammogram can potentially be a time of anxiety and worry. Our experienced and caring medical staff will be there for you, holding your hand, every step of the way.

During the procedure, your radiographer will position your breast in a mammography unit. Your breast will be placed on a special platform and compressed with a paddle. This is necessary so all the breast tissue can be X-rayed. The radiographer will then walk behind a screen and activate the machine. If you are younger and have more dense breast tissue, you may be offered an ultrasound scan.

Your doctor will be looking at the pictures as the images are shown on screen and will determine the best course of follow-up action as provided by the national diagnostic system for reading mammogram - provided by BI-RADS, or the Breast Imaging Reporting and Database System.

The system categorises lumps from zero to six and details the next course of action for each category - whether more investigations are needed such as more imagery, a biopsy or regular screening. We will discuss this with you during your appointment.

We are committed to delivering excellent individual care and customer service across our network of hospitals, clinics and specialist care centres around the UK. Our dedicated and highly trained team aim to achieve consistently excellent results. For us it's more than just treating patients, it's about looking after people.
